Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why hybrid work is emotionally exhausting
Many workers chose or were forced to work from home under the Covid pandemic. For most workers, it has been a challenging shift from working in the office. While they don’t have to dress up or commute to and from the office, they need to set up a workplace and daily schedule for themselves. It took some time and effort to make the transition for both employers and employees. Then, another idea came, called hybrid. For example, you come to the office and work on certain days of the week, say Mondays and Wednesdays, and work from home on other days. The concept theoretically sounded ideal as it is intended to take advantage of both work patterns. However, it seems to disrupt the employees’ work schedules and daily routines. Indeed, you probably need to have very different tasks to accomplish between working in the office with others and working at home by yourself. So, in order to take advantage of either or both work patterns, both the employer and employees need to agree with what works best for both. Since work style seems to have become an important issue for employment, employers need to be conscious of and sensitive to both the physical and emotional welfare of their employees to be attractive and competitive in their business field.
Enjoy reading the article and think which work style, or any other work style works best for you.
